Thanks to Carl, who started it with his fantastic post on The Swell Season in concert. He mentioned the duet performed a Pixies song, and I (the Pixies fan) - just had to know which Pixies song. Mary saved the day by revealing it was "Cactus". Ahhhhh. Thank you, Mary. :)
Here's the YouTube video, link courtesy of Carl, of the Swell Season performing "Cactus" - from the Pixies album I alway remember as "The One with the Flamenco Dancer with the Bare Boobies."
I smiled at Glen Hansard's little shout-out to Kim Deal (bassist and back-up vocals for The Pixies), who was apparently there with The Breeders.
Glen Hansard: "This is a Pixies song. In honor of Kim. I hope she's here. I hope she's listening."
They are a great pair. I ended up buying the "Once" soundtrack this afternoon. I am glad to say I enjoy it tremendously.
Big thanks to Carl and Serene for recommending great music that I must have!
You've seen the film or haven't seen the film? You need to see it! :)
ReplyDeleteThe rendition they gave for us was a little bit more polished than this one and a bit more fun, but then I am prejudiced since I was there.
It was a fun song, I'll definitely be checking out more Pixies stuff.
Carl I thought it was screening at one of the artsy cinema - turns out it stopped. So I'm checking out the DVD stores today for "Once." Definitely going to get it. Wish me luck finding the DVD.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll have an easy time finding it and look forward to your thoughts. After all this I hope you enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteCarl I found the DVD!
